The Lie: The Burden Of Proof Is On The Believers The Truth: The Burden Of Proof Is On The Skeptics

Skeptics keep saying that the burden of proof is on us, when in reality, the burden of proof is on them.

It has already been established that God lives and His Word is Truth. Nobody can change that.

It has already been established that He alone is the one true God and nobody can change that.

This is what God says about Himself:

“I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.’ Genesis 17:1
I Am Who I Am. Say this to the people of Israel: I Am has sent me to you.” Exodus 3:14
And God said to Moses, “I am Yahweh—‘the Lord.’ Exodus 6:2
“I am the Lord who heals you.” Exodus 15:26
“I am merciful.” Exodus 22:27
“Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.” Exodus 34:6
“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.” Psalm 46:10
“I am the Lord; that is my name! I will not give my glory to anyone else, nor share my praise with carved idols.” Isaiah 42:8
I, yes I, am the Lord, and there is no other Savior. First I predicted your rescue, then I saved you and proclaimed it to the world. No foreign god has ever done this. You are witnesses that I am the only God,” says the Lord. Isaiah 43:11-12
“From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can snatch anyone out of my hand. No one can undo what I have done.” Isaiah 43:13
This is what the Lord says— your Redeemer and Creator: “I am the Lord, who made all things. I alone stretched out the heavens. Who was with me when I made the earth?” Isaiah 44:24
Jesus answered, “I am. And in the future, you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of God, the Powerful One, and coming on clouds in the sky.” Mark 14:62
“I am the light of the world. The person who follows me will never live in darkness but will have the light that gives life.” John 8:12
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me will have life even if they die. John 11:25
Jesus answered, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. The only way to the Father is through me.” John 14:6
The Lord God says, “I am the Alpha and the Omega. I am the One who is and was and is coming. I am the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8

This is what God had said about Himself and what Jesus had said about Himself. What they have said had already been established as Truth and nobody can ever change it.

What has been written in the Word of God as mankind's history has been established as man's history and nobody can change it.

God has proven and is still proving Himself to mankind and nobody can change it.

Now, it is up to the skeptic to disprove what God has already established to be the Truth.

@Kygirl it really depends a lot on how to unbelieve in the written words that are said to be God's. One can still believe in God, but "knows" the written bible is the work of men.

On the contrary: 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for [c]instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16

19 [i]And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private [j]interpretation, 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but [k]holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:19-21
@GodSpeed63 Not all the Bible is prophecy.

And it's clear that Isaiah had no idea what he was writing down, he was in a huge rush to just get it down.

@Kygirl it was changed roughly 80 times since the first council of nicea in about 1340 so I'm calling bs on that. Hell they removed one sentence from the book of Genesis in 2014. That change means I'll only go on rare occasion. Or if for a good reason. I know the sentence removed do u? But it's the only truth. Right?

According to whom?
@GodSpeed63 Just read it. Commentaries can't keep up with his switches! lol

"This is about a future event...this next sentence is about a contemporaneous event...then back to prophecy..."

I think he was in a rush to record his visions, much like the poet trying to get down his dreamt poem about Xanadu.

So?
@GodSpeed63 So...it suggests I'm correct.

Not at all, it just indicates that you lack understanding Isaiah.
@GodSpeed63 Lol

I guess you need to review this thread.
But you do you.
Misreading the Bible's clear meaning is pretty common.

Only if you don't have His Spirit dwelling in you. There's only one interpretation of His Word and that belongs to Him and whomever He wishes to share it with.

@GodSpeed63
I love the fact that the word of God can be interpreted by the word.
💜🙏🏻💜
@GodSpeed63 LMAO

Would that that were true. Good self-sealing answer.

It is established Truth, like it or not.
